It is unnatural for children to grow up with gay parents. Yes homosexuals have certain rights, but what about the childrens' rights to grow in a healthy environment? As a young person myself, I am very thankful that I was not raised by two gay men.
There are married Americans who are so desperate to adopt children that they will adopt foreign orphans. If an American child is an orphan, there is no pressing need for them to be adopted by two gays.
In 2000 Richard Hatch, the homosexual winner of survivor lost custody of his adopted son after charges of physical abuse surfaced. He was acquitted of criminal charges, but the child was still removed.
Remember, when you allow gay parents to have children, the children are completely under their care. I do not feel comfortable with gay men "spanking" and punishing children. Do you?
Even if most gay parents did not abuse their children, 47% of molestation cases come from within the family: fathers, stepfathers, and uncles. Allowing gay marriage endangers many more children.
Ms Crouse is correct: Mary Cheney's pregnancy strongly affects our society. It shows a strong trend in our country that few would have imagined just 15 years ago. The fact that America's conservative Vice President could have a homosexual daughter and the President congratulates them on her pregnancy- and on top of it they head the conservative party- shows where we will soon be if you and I don't take a strong stand against gay marriage.
Sorry that so many of the initial posts were such inananities of web-based thuggery, as have been many of the follow-ons.
I CHALLENGE all to read this DAMN (a word thrown around here like confetti at a parade) essay and respond TO WHAT IT SAYS!
"Kids" don't ask their parents to become vice-presidents-- thereby, putting them in the spotlight. This one's not using her father's position to her advantage in any way, so she doesn't deserve a coal-raking.
BTTT
Bull F'in Shi!
More Driveby media hits.
Forget the arguments regarding the parents. The child and society pay the price for this selfish act.
The article's premis is correct.
